This is what they call "Partly Sunny after morning fog" on our local TV and radio stations. Close to an inch in less than an hour.

Ah, you got it too. We have about 2" now. I took my daughter to the library 1 mile away (all downhill) and there it was rain/snow mix with nothing sticking at all.

Don't get me started on these Clowns.

I think they need to add a disclaimer to the end of their predictions like:

"This forecaster has a 33% accuracy rating and has predict 456% more snow then has actually fallen."

We got 5-12" here yesterday and the local news had 10 minutes of "Team Coverage" TO INCLUDE A SNOW SHOVELING TIP! Spray the shovel with silicone.:mad:

It's New Hampshire.

It's WINTER

We get snow

REPORT SOME NEWS!!!

At least the stars of baseball are successful 30% of the time.

We ended up with 4" then it froze overnight for a fun morning commute. Then the sun came out, and right now we have a flurry even with sun. No rainbow.

30% for a ball IS good but you have someone on the other end of that ball trying to look good also.

With 'Weather Prognosticators' there is a team of them, working together, to predict by using science, what going to happen in as little as 12 hrs.

Old Momar Kadafi took some of his out and shot them. I forget the circumstances, but maybe if we took the worst weatherman for the year and say cane him? Or her. Might set a good example for some of those who like to sensationalize the serverity of the weather.

Keep it all up there......please. I used to say I could get all the snow I wanted looking under "S" in the encyclopedia. Shows my age, huh? Now I can say I can get all I want when I google it.

There was an old time weatherman here who said for our part of Texas if you forcasted that it would never snow you would only be wrong once a year. There was an inch of the stuff on the ground last Thanksgiving. Maybe that's it for the season.

Weather forecast??!? Huh. My preferred method is the ole "frayed rope hanging outside the window" - if it's swinging, it's windy. If it's dripping, it's raining (or thawing out) - if it's stiff and white, it's cold outside. If it's GONE, head for the basement... :D Steve

Theres a rock hanging from Outlaw BBQs sign in Playe Del Rey, Ca

Above it it says"

If its wet: Its Raining
If its white: Its snowing
If its swinging : Its windy
If you cant read this: Its foggy
If its gone: Call the police

Something along those lines.
